the programming and testing of the underlying algorithms and calculations (estimated at $200,000), final design, programming
and testing of the Graphic User Interface or GUI (estimated at $150,000), and a sales and marketing campaign, including
publicity and hiring sales staff (estimated at $150,000).

 2. You disclose that William Alessi filed a law suit against your predecessor, Innovative Beverage Group Holdings, Inc. and received
a default judgement. Please revise to provide a description of the claims asserted in the complaint and the remedies and damages
sought.

Response: We have revised
Item 1. Business to provide a description of the claims asserted in the complaint and the remedies and damages sought. William
Alessi filed a lawsuit against the predecessor of Quantum Computing, Innovative Beverage Group Holdings, Inc. (“IBGH”)
alleging “(1) fraud; and (2) breach of fiduciary duties of care, loyalty and good faith to the Corporation’s shareholders.”
Mr. Alessi’s complaint alleged that the officers and directors of IBGH had abandoned it and allowed the Corporation’s
assets to be wasted, causing injury to the Corporation and its shareholders. Mr. Alessi sought damages of $30,000 for each claim,
plus reimbursement of filing costs of $1,000, and the appointment of a Receiver for the Corporation.

Item 14. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on

 3. We note your Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the audit of December 31, 2018 financial statements

no changes in accountants. Please revise the disclosures to comply with Item 304 of Regulation S-K and provide an exhibit 16 letter
required by Item 601 of Regulation S-K.

Response: We have revised this section accordingly.

 4. The balance of accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2018 presented on the Statement of Stockholders’ Deficit does not
agree with the accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2018 presented on the Balance Sheet. Please revise.

Response: The accumulated deficit as of December
31, 2018 shown on the balance sheet and the statement of stockholders deficit are off by $1.00 due to cumulative rounding errors.
We have revised this accordingly.

Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Note 8 – Capital Stock, page F-14

 5. We note that your recognized stock based compensation expense
                                         of $24.1 million in connection with grants of stock to key personnel. We also note that
                                         two of the key management employees resigned from the Company and returned all of their
                                         stock grants for a total of 4,000,000 shares. Please clarify why the repurchase of the
                                         stock award grants do not result in a reversal of your stock based compensation cost.
                                         Consider whether your repurchase rights are effectively forfeiture provisions. Additionally,
                                         please tell us how you determined the appropriate fair value used to measure the compensation
                                         cost. We refer you to ASC 718-10-35-3(b) and 718-20-35-7.

Response: The stock based
compensation (4.8M shares were granted to employees in 2018) was recorded according to the guidelines of ASC 718. The rules pertaining
to forfeiture of grants of stock and stock options in ASC 718 do not clearly address a situation such as we had with an employee
resigning and forfeiting their stock. We discussed this issue at length in January with our auditor, who insisted that based on
his knowledge of the SEC interpretation of ASC 718, we could not reverse the compensation expense.

We did not reverse the stock compensation
expense because we did not believe that was permissible under our interpretation of the forfeiture provisions of ASC 718. However,
upon further consideration we concur with the SEC assessment that our repurchase rights should be viewed as forfeiture provisions
and have adjusted the stock compensation expense in 2018 accordingly. We determined the appropriate fair value of the stock grants
to employees by using the closing OTC Market price on the day of the stock grants as the FMV. The closing price we used was listed
on the OTC Markets website.

Thank you for your assistance in reviewing
this filing.

Very Truly Yours,

    /s/
